I recently obtained a copy of Petzolds "Programming Windows 5th edition" (wooohooo finally). He is teaching assuming VC++6.0 and Win98. I am running .NET on a XP machine. Since I don't know that much (yet) about Windows Programming I wanted to make sure that no unforseen problems will crop up due to using .NET over VC++6.0 and runnign XP over Win98. If anyone reading this thread has read the book above please respond and ease my mind
